A Plucky, Determined and Deserving
Warehouse Firm.

Notwithstanding the big premiums
that are being offered by other houses
and markets, pursuing the even tenor
of their way, without any fuss or
parade, Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co.,
are steadily increasing their taade and
growing in popular favor. To such
an extent has this been the case it has
necessltated the lengthening Of their
house IS feet, and while they offer no
advertising premiums to be gotten by
favored few, they sell all tobacco as
high as any other house, and have as
good accommodations both for men
and teams as can be found in any
market in the State. Their sales for
the past month have been large and
satisfactory to sellers.
They make no change in their firm
or business but have been forced to
supply more help to give proper atten-
ton to their numerous patrons and
their tobacco. By selling tobacco upon
its merit every day in the year they
hope to merit a continuance of the
popularity they have SO justly attained
If you want to be certain of getting
the highest market value, carry then
a load and you will be satisfied. They
will sell on their new floor to-day.

COMMUNICATED.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF-As a warm friend
and appreciatiye reader of the GOLD LEAF,
and an ardent advocate of the prosperity Of
Henderson, desire to second the endorse
ment of Civis" i'm Your last issue In
some of his concentrations, he anticipated
me. However, l most heartily endorse
him and the proposition he has offered, and
will join him in his generosity towards the
GOLD LEAF.
The idea you advanced in regard to the
proposed illustrated edition of the paper
was capital one and should he eagerly
accepted by the business men of our town
The writer is not eff them tho he endeayors
to be busy i'm the best interests OF the town
and it, inhabitants. He insures you the
cut" of one of the buildings proposed to
be stereotyped in the illustrated edition
and will subscribe to at least 80 copies of
the paper. Or he will I've one of 200 as
"CiviS" offers, to secure the press ii is pro-
posed to present tn the GOLD LEAF, or bet
ter still, he will do both.
The merits of the GOLD LEAF are freely
mentioned and we all as citizens of Hem
derson and Vance county are highly graft
fed at the stand is has taken, 80 justly in
| the list of our State papers. Let us now
show our appreciation of it and at the same
time lend a hand in raising it to the very
forefront of our State weeklies. If with
its present facilities it ranks so high in its
general appearance, of good paper, clear
/ type, general news, and especially editorial
work, what may we not hope for it with
greatly increased facilities? Let both
propositions be carried through.

Down WITH THE DoGs-After copying
from the GOLD LEAF the paragraph an
nouncing the purchase and arrival of Col.
Burgwyn's fine blooded ram, week or
two since, the PROGRESSIVE Farmer says this:
Col. Burgwyn is one of North Carolina 3
most progressive men, and he has our best
wishes for his success in his enterprise But
read the following taken from the same
issue of the same paper Oh the same SUBJ
ject.
Then follows what we said about the
killing by dogs of a number of Mr.. r. l..
Daingertield's sheep and the wounding of
others, and our question as to whether
there is not some way to get rid Of the dog
nuisance. The same paper says further:
SIS there no way to get rid of the dog
nuisance in this country" asks our con-
temporary. Plenty of ways, brother but
finding the law-maker who has the courage
to even suggest a way" is the trouble
North Carolina is cursed by the presence
of at least 400. 900 worthless dogs, and q
horde of politicians, brigade of whom
one bench-leg fee could put to flight. The
owner of the dog is numerous and pow
erful rotor, and there's your trouble. Bro.
Manning.

make this one OF the best markets in all
this country to buy goods. They carry
large stocks from which their customers
may select, and offer every inducement tC
buyers. Enquiry and observation reveals
the fact that our merchants have this sea
son purchased larger stocks than ever be-
fore and they say they will not be under
sold by dealers in any market. They arc
determined to lead in low prices and good
goods as usual.

he seen by reference to his advertisement
in another column Of this paper, Mr.. Wal
ter W. Rowland has opened general pro-

RELIGEoUs.-We enjoyed pleasant ride
in the country with DIR. Cheatham last
Sunday, and after visiting some of his pa
tients on the way we went 20 Harris Chapel,
at Dahney, to preaching. A protracted
meeting had been commenced the day be-
fore and large crowd was in attendance
Henderson being particularly we'll repre-
sented. Rev. S. w. Coe preached in the
morning and Rev. W. s. Fischell in the
afternoon. Notwithstanding the number
of people there the good people of that
neighborhood had made ample preparation
and there was an abundance of something
to eat ON the ground at dinner time. The
writer had Invitations to- dine with. Messrs.
Ira T. Hart, A. P. O'Briant, David Barker
and others, and everybody appeared to be
as we'll cared for. The attendance upon
the meeting this week has been very good
Another interesting meeting is going on
at Mt. Carmel. Rev S. P. j. Harris and
Rev. w. e. Kinnett preached Sunday, and
during this week Rev. w. l.. Harris has
been aiding in the meeting, preaching to
large congregations.

THE VALUE OF GOOD LOCAL PAPERS,
The Soatthern Tobacco Journal copies what
the Manufacturers Record says about the
value of good local papers to town, as
published in the GOLD LEAF last week,
and comments in this manner upon the sub
ject. 1t says:
1t is difficult to estimate the value of a
good local paper to town. Every week
there comes to our desk a score or two of
the best of these local papers from Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, and it is graft
flying to note the interest these papers take
in their towns and sections. They all do
fifty times more advertising for their towns
than they get paid for. They speak up
for their respective markets and draw
trade thereto that would never come
but for the influence of the paper. Though
oppressed often financially, the average
newspaper man does not let that dampen
his ardOr and enthusiasm. for his native or
adopted place. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the good that is being done to our
sections by local newspapers.

EERS0N AL-One OF the Oldest, pest Known
and most reliable mercantile houses in
Henderson is that of E. e.. Davis. Every
patron of this market for many miles dis
tant knows Mr.. Davis and nothing the
GOLD LEAF may say will add to his rep
utation or popularity. He is an extensive
dealer and of course buys to such adyan-
tage as to be able to give his customers the
benefit of good bargains. While he carries
large and complete stock Of everything
in the line of general merchandise, special
attention is paid to the dry goods depart
ment and Mr.. Davis purchases this season
Surpass all former efforts, in extent and
variety, excellence of quality and beauty
of styles. lie has perhaps the largest and
most complete assortment of ladies' dress
goods of every description, trimmings, but
tons, silks, laceS, fine shoes, gloves, etc,
in town, to which he invites the attention
of the ladies. All the latest novelties in
millinery, fancy goods and notins. A beau
tiful line of hats and bOnnetS, in the
newest shapes, feathers, plumes, flowers,
ribbons, etc, all shades to match.
Mrs. Fanny Porter has accepted an en-
gagement at Mr.. Davis store, where she
will be pleased to have her lady friends
call in future Besides the excellent stock
there to select from, the ladies will appre-
ciate the further fact that person of such
we'll known taste in matching shades and
blending colors beautifully and harmoni-
ously, will aid them in making their selec-
tions and purchasing to best advantage,
both to their purse and person.

ONE NAN Who Is RIGHT.-The GOLD
LEAF has often urged upon our people the
Importance of paying more attention to
stock raising-horses and mules particular
ly. We depend too much upon Kentucky
! and East Tennessee for cur supply, when
we'll. Our lands are adapted to clover,
grass. &c, and with little attention thereto
fine crops may be produced and stock rails
| ing made not only successful for home
supply but sonrceof profit as we'll. Here
is one man just across the line in Virginia
who is pursuing the right course aud the
! GOLD LEAF desires, to see. many others
following his example. The Chase City
| Clipper says:
Mr.. John E. Boyd, Of our town, is the
largest raiser nf live stock in our immedi-
ate vicinity He tells US that he has six
teen head of horses (including dozen
cOlts), sixty sheep aud twenty head of cat
tie During the Summer and this Fall he
has plowed Fifty acres of ground and seeded
most of it to orchard grass, clover, barley
and rye He thinks our farmers do. not
/ begin to give the attention they should to
the raising of clover and grasses. Our
| farmers, as we have many times remarked
in these columns, will find it greatly to
their advantage to devote more attention
than they 60 to the raising Of live stock.
